Water Anacampseros telephiastrum sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the dormant winter months.

Overwatering is the most common cause of rot, so err on the side of underwatering to ensure healthy root development and prevent fungal issues.

Pruning is generally not necessary for Anacampseros telephiastrum unless removing dead or damaged leaves. If the plant becomes leggy or overgrown, you can trim it back to encourage a more compact form.

Pruning can also be done to harvest cuttings for propagation purposes.

Anacampseros telephiastrum is easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil.

Alternatively, offsets can be gently separated and potted up. Both methods are best performed in spring or early summer.

Repot Anacampseros telephiastrum every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its current container. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.

Repotting is best done in spring, after the plant has finished its dormant period.
